Thermal conductivity and dynamic heat capacity across the metal-insulator transition in thin film VO2
Abstract
The thermal properties of VO2 thin films, 90–440 nm thick, are measured by time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) across the metal-insulator transition (MIT). The thermal conductivity increases by as much as 60% in the metallic phase; this increase in conductivity is in good agreement with the expected electronic contribution to the thermal conductivity. For relatively thick layers, TDTR data are sensitive to the dynamic heat capacity and show a pronounced peak near the MIT temperature created by a contribution to the enthalpy from periodic transformations at the 10 MHz frequency of the thermal waves used in the experiment. The dynamic heat capacity increases as the amplitude ΔT of the thermal waves becomes comparable to the width of the MIT and reaches ≈30% of the bulk latent heat for ΔT≈1.6 K.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
